The Royals can't afford to be losing to teams that sold at the deadline, but that's what they did in Minnesota.Rany Jazayerli (Co-Founder Baseball Prospectus/@Jazayerli) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) discuss the Royals series loss to the Twins and discuss where they go from here.- Did this weekend end the Royals Playoff chances?- Who should bat leadoff for the Royals?- Thoughts on Bailey Falter and Ryan Bergert.- Noah Cameron keeps mowing them down!- How should the bullpen be deployed?- Did John Rave play himself out of a job?- When is it time to call up Carter Jensen?- Who should the Royals add when the rosters expand to 28?

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley discusses Paul Skenes' recent comments to the Post-Gazette on the Pirates' MLB 2025 trade deadline, in which they dealt away names including David Bednar, Bailey Falter and Ke'Bryan Hayes and shifted their focus towards 2026. Skenes is hopeful that the moves will allow the Pirates to make some acquisitions and add to the offense in the offseason. Beazley then compares this with comments made Sunday by general manager Ben Cherington, in which he said that the Pirates never make moves "in order to save money" and said that the Pirates will be more flexible to add in 2026.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Mike DeFabo has been underwhelmed by the offense. Broderick Jones was Mike's biggest concern going into training camp, and has stayed the same. Ben Cherington said he would never make a trade to save money. He said they can use payroll space to help the team. We are baffled by the Bailey Falter trade.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson acknowledge SP Johan Oviedo's activation from the IL, and they wonder how effective he will be for the remainder of this season. This injury report is brought to you by Shenderovich, Shenderovich and Fishman.

Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. Dan reacted to the trade deadline and how ugly it was for the Pirates. The Ke'Bryan Hayes deal looks like the best one, but what about the David Bednar move? Dan said the Bailey Falter deal ‘raised his eyebrows' when he saw it across his timeline. Why is Andrew Heaney still here? Dan claimed he had heard from someone around baseball that Mitch Keller wasn't seen as a player with a lot of value at the deadline. Is it true that the Pirates have had early conversations with Paul Skenes on a contract extension?

Quite the weekend in Colorado as the Pirates dropped 2 of 3 to the lowly Rockies. Following the debacle that was the trade deadline, the Pirates lost Friday night after leading by 9 runs on two separate occasions. What is a feeling we would use to describe where we are at on the Pirates? GIVEAWAY. Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show.

MLB prospect expert Keith Law from The Athletic joined the show. Keith says that the Pirates “did fine” at the Trade Deadline. He also says that everything the Pirates do should be to get talent around Paul Skenes for the time that they have him. Keith can't believe that the Pirates turned down Eduardo Tait for Rafael Flores instead. He brings up the fact that the Pirates do not have a good track record of developing power hitters. Keith had to look up one of the guys that the Pirates traded Bailey Falter for. He also believes that “everybody missed” on Termarr Johnson. Keith says that the Pirates are still trying to figure out Bubba Chandler's breaking ball.

Ben Cherington said that the Pirates would never make a trade to save money, yet he contradicted himself in the next sentence. Poni says that the whole point of the Paul Skenes era is to spend money while we have him. The Pirates rank 8th in attendance in the NL, despite the small market. Cherington also said that the Pirates spend money on things outside of the player payroll in order to win games. MLB prospect expert Keith Law from The Athletic joined the show.

The guys think so. The Pirates have had 2 games on Mondays exceed 13000 fans in attendance. The guys needed the intern to tell them who NBA Youngboy was.

Kansas City Royals vs. Boston Red Sox MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Royals at Red Sox 7PM ET—Bailey Falter makes the start for KC. Falter has 12 starts carrying an ERA of 3.73 with WHIP of 1.18. The left hander strikes out 15.3% with 8.5% walks. Ground balls served at 35.9% with 1.35 home runs per nine innings.

The Royals didn't sell at the deadline, but did they do enough to be a serious playoff contender?David Lesky (Publisher - Inside the Crown/@DBLesky), Les Norman (Former Royals OF/Author - Teaching the Tools of Hitting) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) break down the Royals Trade Deadline moves and look at what to expect for the rest of the season.- What did the Royals get in Ryan Bergert and Stephen Kolek?- Did the Royals trade the wrong catcher?- Where does Bailey Falter fit with the pitching staff?- How much does Mike Yastrzemski help?- What does Randal Grichuk do to the lineup?- Did the Royals buy enough?- Should they have dealt Carlos Estevez?- Did they miss a window to trade Kris Bubic?

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Colin Beazley analyze the Pirates' six trades at the 2025 deadline, as the team traded stalwarts David Bednar, Ke'Bryan Hayes, Bailey Falter and others for prospects. Beazley and Hiles discuss each return and whether the Pirates got enough in return or not, before flipping to the greater issue: that the Pirates were unable to trade several veterans on expiring deals. And what about the fate of GM Ben Cherington after another disappointing deadline day?

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: The Pirates traded David Bednar to the Yankees, Bailey Falter to the Royals, and Taylor Rogers to the Cubs. They did not acquire one top 100 prospect or one major league player. How do you feel about the trades?? Pulse of the People - Will Ben Cherington be back next year?

Jeff was surprised by the Pirates deadline. The GM didn't trade Andrew Heaney, Tommy Pham, and IKF. This doesn't open up opportunities for younger players. The Pirates gave Bailey Falter away.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Jeff was surprised by the Pirates deadline. The GM didn't trade Andrew Heaney, Tommy Pham, and IKF. This doesn't open up opportunities for younger players. The Pirates gave Bailey Falter away, it seems. Madden ranks the Steelers as the No. 1 defense. Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn says there is something about Jalen Ramsey that is sparking the defense.

The Pirates traded David Bednar to the Yankees, Bailey Falter to the Royals, and Taylor Rogers to the Cubs. They did not acquire one top 100 prospect or one major league player. It was an interesting deadline.

Ben Cherington believes that he put the Pirates in a stronger position going into next year. Yahoo Sports gave the Pirates an F+ for the trade deadline. Mullsy dropped the Pirates deadline grade to an F. Poni thinks the Ke'Bryan Hayes trade was the Pirates only good decision. He gives it a B+. Tommy Pham has been one of the best hitters in baseball the last couple of months, and the Pirates somehow didn't trade him. An insider says he is done with the Pirates because they care more about finances than winning. MLB writer Travis Sawchik from Driveline Baseball joined the show. Rafael Flores is ranked below Nick Yorke in the Pirates top 30 prospects. Sawchik says the Pirates went against the league consensus with the return in the Bednar trade. He also says that Fangraphs projects that Flores would have an 86 WRC+ if he came up today, which is a problem because he might not be a catcher. Travis says he can't believe Bailey Falter would be a non-tender candidate. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Florio says the Micah Parsons situation was just the Cowboys doing Cowboys things and it blew up in their faces. He also says that if he were to get traded it would take two first rounders and a $45 million deal. Mike says that Parsons lost all of his leverage because he actually showed up. Mike thinks that Buffalo makes the most sense to send a deal for Parsons. He thinks that the Terry Mclaurin trade request is just an effort to get the Commanders to pay him. Florio says that people should be skeptical of anything ESPN reports about the NFL as a whole.

Hour 4: Jeff Passan seems to love the David Bednar trade, but Poni wonders why. Poni gives a restaurant hack to the guys. And Bailey Falter gets traded to the Royals.

The Pirates stay hot with a 3-1 win over the Giants, led by Bailey Falter's crafty start, Tommy Pham's continued tear, and three perfect innings from Braxton Ashcraft. Jim and Doug recap all the key moments, including Liover Peguero's big night, a hilariously bad Giants blunder, and why Ashcraft might deserve a shot in the rotation soon.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB betting for Tuesday. Opening context (0:10–1:40) – Munaf sets the stage for the week's MLB action, mentioning the trade deadline and the previous episode's 2–0 best bets. Griffin notes wearing a Rangers shirt “brought them luck” as they surged post-All-Star break. Emmanuel Clase's suspension (1:56–4:00) – Munaf explains the betting investigation: 11 of 22 first pitches “non-competitive.” Griffin criticizes the Guardians' collapse, with bullpen struggles (Hunter Gaddis, Cade Smith), concluding they're “pretty much finished.” Diamondbacks vs Tigers (6:40–11:41) – Munaf & Griffin break down Casey Mize (10 ER in 7 IP, minus 132 favorite) vs Brandon Pfaadt (road ERA 5.94). Both skeptical of backing either team but lean toward Tigers if Mize rebounds. Guardians vs Rockies (11:42–15:20) – Logan Allen's poor history vs Rockies (37.80 ERA), Guardians' instability post-Clase news. Griffin leans toward Rockies run line. Yankees vs Rays (15:20–20:19) – No Aaron Judge weakens NY; Max Fried's two dominant starts vs Rays (14.2 IP, 0 ER). Both favor the under 8.5 runs or first five innings under 4.5. Dodgers vs Reds (20:20–24:26) – Tyler Glasnow (13 IP, 2 ER, 18 K in last two) vs Nicolò Lodolo (coming off CG shutout). Munaf favors the under 9; Griffin hesitant to back the Dodgers at -149. Cubs vs Brewers (24:27–29:23) – Quinn Priester (9–2, 3.28 ERA) as Brewers' ace vs Colin Rea. Griffin excited about the Brewers' home underdog value; Munaf notes their 10 straight wins with Priester starting. Phillies vs White Sox (29:24–31:55) – Jesus Luzardo vs Jonathan Cannon. Munaf expects Phillies to dominate; Griffin cautious but notes White Sox's poor bullpen. Braves vs Royals (31:55–38:01) – Eric Fedde's 2–10 road record vs newly extended Seth Lugo. Both puzzled by Royals' strategy but back Lugo and KC. Marlins vs Cardinals (38:03–45:13) – Sandy Alcantara's road woes vs Sonny Gray (12–1 at home). Griffin sees Marlins' value; Munaf expects Cards' offense to produce. Nationals vs Astros (45:13–52:25) – Jason Alexander vs Michael Soroka. Astros in a slump (five-game losing streak), lacking offensive power without Tucker & Alvarez. Munaf leans Nationals first five innings. Rangers vs Angels (52:25–55:52) – Patrick Corbin (1 ER over last 2 starts) vs Yusei Kikuchi (struggling in July). Griffin and Munaf lean Rangers +107 and team total overs. Pirates vs Giants (55:54–59:51) – Bailey Falter vs Justin Verlander. Griffin plans to fade Verlander; Munaf suggests Pirates' first five inning money line or team totals. Mariners vs A's (1:00:02–1:03:41) – Logan Evans vs Luis Severino. A's 2–10 in Severino home starts (6.68 ERA). Both prefer full game over 10.5. Best bets (1:04:35–1:08:06) – Griffin: Royals -119 vs Braves; Munaf: Brewers -110 vs Cubs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Falter in 21 starts carries an ERA of 3.82 with WHIP of 1.18. The left hander strikes out 15.8% with 8% walks. Ground balls sit at 35.9% with 1.33 home runs per nine innings.

Detroit Tigers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Tigers at Pirates 12:30PM ET—Troy Melton expected to start for Detroit. Melton to make his MLB debut.

Pirates insider Noah Hiles dives into the team being swept for the eighth time this season, this time at the hands of the bottom-dwelling Chicago White Sox at home. The loss drops Pittsburgh as a franchise to below .500 all-time for the first time since 1903 and marks the team's 11th loss in 12 games. Amid their ugliest stretch of the season, the Pirates also now look to have an issue with the starting rotation, as Andrew Heaney and Bailey Falter have both struggled as of late. Noah breaks it all down after Sunday's loss. For more Pirates coverage, visit: https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/pirates.

North Shore Nine Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Brothers. The Pirates return from the All-Star break with… that performance. Tyler and Doug break down the brutal 10-1 loss to the White Sox—aka the second-worst team in baseball—on a night where Bailey Falter faltered, the offense was lifeless, and Joey Bart couldn't catch a break (or a strike). We vent about the total lack of energy, question the Pirates' catcher situation, and give a well-earned tip of the cap to Isaac Mattson for showing actual heart. We also touch on Oneil Cruz's solid night, IKF doing IKF things, and how many more days of this roster we really have left before the trade deadline changes everything.

The Pirates are spiraling, and it's hard to find anyone stepping up. We kick things off with Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Colin Beazley, who joins us to break down his latest reporting on the clubhouse vibes, Bailey Falter, Ke'Bryan Hayes, and how Don Kelly is handling the mounting pressure. From there, we dig into Jack Suwinski's surprise return, Tommy Pham quietly carrying the offense, and whether Paul Skenes and Oneil Cruz can bring any spark during All-Star week. The team can't win on the road, the energy feels off, and now they're rolling out bronze plaques at PNC — is anyone actually fixing what's broken? Guest: Colin Beazley Drop your thoughts in the comments — what would you do to fix this mess?

Jeff Hathhorn looks back to the Pirates' July trades over the last 10 years. There are a lot of bad ones. They've only hit on a few deals like IKF, Colin Holderman, Bailey Falter, and Oneil Cruz. There are a lot of forgettable trades. MLB could be looking at a work stoppage.

After winning 6 in a row, the Pirates find a way to lose 6 in a row. Completely erasing the success. Let's talk Bailey Falter, this offense, one run games, and more. Even a little All-Star stuff at the end.https://linktr.ee/bridgetobuctoberhttp://steelcitypirates.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/bridge-to-buctober/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Seattle Mariners MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Pirates at Mariners 4PM ET—Bailey Falter will start for Pittsburgh. Falter in seventeen starts delivers an ERA of 3.62 with WHIP of 1.22. The left hander strikes out 14.7% with 9.1% walks. Ground balls are 38.6% with 0.93 home runs per nine innings. Luis Castillo gets the start for Seattle.

Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. Dan said it's clear the team is responding better to the Don Kelly style of managing than they did to Derek Shelton. The overall vibe is much better too. Dan pointed out how good the team has been, at home especially, since Kelly has taken over. Dan would prefer not trade Mitch Keller, calling him the ‘safest' guy in your rotation. Dan said trading Bailey Falter or one of the younger arms is more attractive to him than trading Keller. Chris, unbelievably, asked Dan about the Pirates possibly contending enough to be buyers at the deadline.

NY Mets vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Mets at Pirates 4PM ET—Paul Blackburn will start for NY. Blackburn appeared in five games with an ERA of 6.62 with WHIP of 1.75. The right hander strikes out 13.3% with 6.7% walks. Ground balls are 41.7% with 1.02 home runs per nine innings. A FIP of 4.42. Bailey Falter is starting for Pittsburgh. Falter got sixteen starts delivering an ERA of 3.59 with WHIP of 1.18. The right hander fans 14.9% with 9% walks. Grounders are 38.7% with 0.95 home runs per nine innings.

At the halfway point of the season, the Pirates are 32-50. What has gone so wrong this season? Chris said the real story is about Bob Nutting, but not in the way you may expect. Chris went through a couple of notable owners in sports that showed a true identity. It seems like the GM is safe when he shouldn't be. How many more times can we watch Ben Cherington screw something up? We struggled to think of many major positive moves made by GMBC in his tenure outside of Paul Skenes and Bailey Falter. What will the deadline look like this year? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray reacted to the words from Aaron Rodgers the other day, stating that it will likely be his final season. Ray does think this all has a chance to work out, which could mean a respectable showing in the playoffs and maybe even a win. Ray doesn't believe the Rodgers legacy hinges on what he does in Pittsburgh. How much pressure would Mike Tomlin be under if the Steelers can't win a playoff game? Ray thinks pressure could be put on Omar Khan and Andy Weidl to circle that next QB. A few quick hitters for Ray before he said goodbye involving Jaylen Warren, Calvin Austin and TJ Watt. Total Request Thursday.

Doug and Neil are back for another North Shore Nine Postgame Show, powered by Primanti Brothers, as the Pirates drop a 7–3 loss to the Tigers. They break down another brutal night of offense, Bailey Falter's decent but unspectacular start, and Carmen Mlodzinski's rough outing from the bullpen. The guys also dig into the return of Joey Bart and what it might mean for Henry Davis moving forward. Plus: Canario shows signs of life, Horwitz continues to struggle, and Pirates fans are left wondering — where's the urgency Bob Nutting promised? It's the same problems, same frustrations, and still no clear answers. Watch the full NS9 Postgame Show now and don't forget to subscribe for more Pirates talk all season long.

Would you trade Bailey Falter? He has been great for the Pirates. We think they will win 2/3. Dan Muse addressed the Penguins timeline. The Steelers offense needs to be well balanced and take some pressure off Aaron Rodgers, but needs to have a good enough passing game to threaten other teams.

Paul Skenes now has a 1.88 ERA but a 4-6 record. Donny and Austin think Skenes will be the first pitcher with a losing record to win the Cy Young. It heightens the need for offense. Bob likes how Don Kelly has managed and is trusting his gut. Donny thinks the Pirates should take calls on Bailey Falter.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. Best bets as always. Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner preview the MLB Friday slate on RJ Bell's Dream Preview. They open by discussing the Orioles' recent 9-2 stretch despite being 11 games under .500, and Minnesota's past long winning streak. Griffin reflects on Moneyball's low ranking on his movie list and praises Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs. In the Phillies vs. Pirates matchup, Joe Ross starts for Philly as an opener while Bailey Falter, performing solidly for Pittsburgh, starts for the Pirates. Both agree under 9 runs is the best angle due to limited offensive firepower from Pittsburgh and Ross's limited innings. Next, Texas faces Washington with Patrick Corbin vs. Michael Soroka. Corbin has stabilized while Soroka battles recurring injuries. Griffin likes Nationals ML and over 9.5, noting Nationals' young talent and the weather boosting offense. Munaf supports first 5 over and Nationals' team total over, citing Texas' poor 9-20 road record. In Red Sox vs. Yankees, Walker Buehler faces Will Warren. Boston's bats have struggled, while Warren allowed 7 ER in his last outing. Both predict an over 9 outcome, expecting Rafael Devers to homer and citing both teams' bullpen issues. The Diamondbacks visit Cincinnati with Eduardo Rodriguez vs. Nick Lodolo. Rodriguez has allowed 13 ER over his last 3 starts with control issues. Lodolo's 4-4 record and 3.10 ERA give Griffin confidence in the Reds. Munaf favors Reds ML and sees plenty of scoring. Astros travel to Cleveland with Colton Gordon vs. Logan Allen. Allen's lefty matchup gives the right-handed Astros lineup an edge, but Munaf remains cautious due to Houston's late travel. Griffin would take Astros at plus money, considering Cleveland's competitiveness. Kansas City faces the White Sox with Seth Lugo vs. Davis Martin. Lugo has dominated the White Sox historically, allowing just 3 ER over 29.1 IP. Munaf strongly supports Royals RL, citing Lugo's recent success against Chicago, while Griffin leans over 8. The Padres visit Milwaukee with Randy Vasquez vs. Chad Patrick. Vasquez's control issues and HR susceptibility concern both hosts. Griffin makes Brewers ML -142 his best bet, citing Milwaukee's base-stealing prowess and San Diego's fatigue after extra-inning games. Munaf adds Brewers first 5 team total over. Dodgers face Cardinals with Justin Robleski vs. Sonny Gray. Injuries to Betts and Freeman concern both. Griffin trusts Gray as a home underdog, noting St. Louis' bullpen depth. Munaf supports Over 8.5, expecting offensive production from both sides. The Mets visit Colorado with Kodai Senga vs. Antonio Senzatela. Senzatela enters 1-10 with a 7.14 ERA and 1.98 WHIP. Munaf makes Mets team total Over 6.5 his best bet, expecting New York's offense to dominate at Coors Field. Griffin acknowledges Rockies' rare 3-game win streak but avoids backing them. Seattle travels to Anaheim with Bryce Miller facing Kyle Hendricks. Miller's bone spur has altered his delivery, making Griffin favor the Angels ML, citing their hot bats and rest advantage. Munaf agrees, backing the Angels and runs scored. In San Francisco, Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach faces Giants' Hayden Birdsong. Schwellenbach has 22 Ks in his last two starts, but Griffin trusts Birdsong and Giants' bullpen, backing the under 7.5 and Giants ML. Munaf echoes this, emphasizing both pitchers' strong form. They close with Griffin taking Brewers ML as his best bet and Munaf locking in Mets team total Over 6.5. They promote pregame.com with a STRIKE20 discount code for picks packages.
